Your right, The Dude, but that K-State game wasn't worth my time. Boring. K-State needs to learn how to play without the mistakes, and they won't have the luxury of playing Cal's defense every week.

I watched the Northern Illinois game on Fox Sports Net after the Indians game (it was joined in progress). I caught the second half, and rooted for NI the whole time (MAC country). Northern Illinois did what they needed to do to win.

I have always felt that if more teams from the Big Ten, ACC, Big-12, etc. had to go to the smaller D-1 programs football stadiums there would be upsets. Give Maryland credit for going, give NI fans credit for filling the stadium at 28,000 strong.

Minnesota goes to Ohio University, and a few others for MAC fans to look forward to. I don't think this is the only upset we'll see.
